I agree. Don't have a problem with this one, to be honest. The Tories' behaviour over Begum has been horrendous and callous from start to finish. I suspect this is one of those occasions where Corbyn's obvious default choice is also the right one by luck more than reasoned judgement (as opposed to Assange) and I doubt more than a few nanoseconds thought went into it, so how much credit is due is open to debate. But a good thing is a good thing.

The cost is £1.65bn a year, about a quarter of what a penny on fuel duty raises. I hope Labour will do that. I mean, useless old polluting business as usual New Labour put up fuel duty by a penny a month before the 2010 election, with another 2p to follow within 9 months. Centrist neoliberal, Emmanuel Macron, had a good go at raising duty by 2p.

I wouldn't know, Malcolm. Not any more. Not since the Right Honourable Pig-Botherer for Gammonshire had his little referendum. It would appear the dam burst and a huge wave of Stupid engulfed the country on that day. The mopping up hasn't even started yet.
